2015-16 Wisconsin’s wolf population numbers show a healthy increase.

Wolf population numbers were released on June 16, 2016 by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The data from 2015-16 winter estimated between 866 and 897 wolves in northern Wisconsin with 222 packs. It’s a well know fact supported by scientific data that Wisconsin can support those numbers of wolves. That is as long as people work towards a solution and do not fixate on the problem.
